After I go for a long drive (like about 2.5 hrs), my speakers pop when turning the car off. This doesn't happen after short drives. I'm assuming this is due to a buildup of charge somewhere. Could it be the amp ground? I don't have any hissing or alternator whine whatsoever, so I assumed my connections were fine.

is it through the factory spkrs or an aftermarket amp with subs? if its aftermarket its probably a bad or going bad capacitor inside the amp.

do just the subs pop? or do all the amplified spkrs pop?

Same has happened to me. POP... then no subs. Cap blew but it was a simple fix.

spkrs pop as well. im assuming the sub is doing it too but i cant really tell. its just a loud bass thump. doesnt happen after shorter drives of less than an hour
